Just rocked a Senior SWE L63 interview with Microsoft in Prague, only to hit a roadblock—relocation budget constraints nixed the offer. Anyone been through the same dance with a big player like Microsoft? Share your wisdom and tales #MicrosoftPrague #Relocation #budget
So you're happy with the salary but not happy with the relocation bonus?
They didn’t give any offer because of no budget to relocate. Saying that I’ve got strong hire decision. Weird
Sounds weird, relocation is a one time cost.
HM should be able to bump your first year bonus to cover relocation costs silently. Just negotiate a little. You can move to Redmond on your own, they are not paying relo anymore. Most likely after you hit L65. If they told you that you are strong hire, it's a signal that they want you to negotiate a bit. How much would relo to Prague cost anyway?
Yeah, I tried to negotiate. I suggested that I will relocate by my own savings. But it could take a long time. That’s how they said
I am ready to relocate by my own savings. Just give me an offer that I deserved )
That's so weird.
Ask them for an offer. Tell them you will be able to decide if you want to relocate on your own based on the offer. fwiw, I've already heard from other sources that MS doesn't pay relocation anymore. Unclear if it's global, or just some locations.
